That sucks. I am sure once the new 6 comes out they will make a new speed6 though, and i think overall it will be a huge improvement over the current speed6. Don't get me wrong though, i love the current speed6 and wish it would have caught on more, as it was a good car.

It will be back in a couple years once the "newness" wears off the new model Jim. Likely in perfect time for you to replace yours - and I hope with some version of that 3.5L turbo thing they are going to be putting in Lincolns.

Anyway in response to muchdrama, I understand Mazda6 growing in size. It was really the runt of the midsized market even though it was rather roomy inside. If the new Mazda 2 is any indication, hopefully Mazda will employ the same weight saving methods to keep the weight from growing proportionally. The Mazda2 actually weighs less than the car it replaces.

In response to Aaronm, the Mazdaspeed6 never really hit its mark on the sales front. They were supposed to only import 5000 a year but I suspect they imported substantially more than that. At the time, it was a very expensive model for Mazda in a showroom of more reasonably priced cars. Only selling it with a manual transmission, while good for enthusiasts, bad for volume. The two tone black and white leather interior was avoided like the plague as was the black cherry exterior color. Almost zero advertising, relying almost entirely on enthusiast customers and word of mounth for sales. Also far more complex than most of the cars it competes with (DI, AWD and turbo). Sort of scared me a little. But it is a blast to drive and because of its slow sales could be had at great prices.
